New Mobilizer: 1969-70
The New Mobilizer (1969-70) was the newsletter of the New Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam, a national umbrella anti-Vietnam War coalition.
The organization was first organized as the Spring Mobilization Committee in 1966 and organized several antiwar and anti-draft rallies and demonstrations, including organizing attendance at the large April 1967 New York city march.
The group sought permanence by replacing its name “Spring” with “National” and organized the large October 1967 March on the Pentagon and April 1968 protests against the draft, among other activities.
A split in the antiwar movement occurred later in 1968 over whether to focus on a single demand (End the War) or to include social justice demands as well. Differences also included whether to condone civil disobedience as a tactic.
These two tendencies were later reflected as the National Peace Action Coalition and the 1969-70 New Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam, which was later reconstituted that year as the People’s Coalition for Peace and Justice. While both coalitions reflected a broad base and many disparate organizations and individuals, the old left Trotskyist Social Workers Party supported NPAC while the Communist Party supported New Mobilization/PCPJ.
